Taiyou no Yuusha - Fighbird

Taiyō no Yūsha Fighbird GB adapts its anime source material into a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up. The narrative context involves a defense of Earth against invaders named the Drias and Dr. Jango.

Players select from one of two pilots, who each control a mecha. The core activity involves progressing through five stages, each concluding with a confrontation against a boss mecha. Enemy forces appear in successive waves that must be cleared.

Offensive capabilities include a standard projectile attack and a charge mechanic. This charge function can be built up to three distinct levels for a more powerful shot.
